Dark Matter

Invited talk

The nature of dark matter is one of the great mysteries of modern physics and may be the result of
new particles beyond the standard model. The Axion, originally conceived as a solution to the strong-
CP problem in nuclear physics, is one well-motivated candidate. In 1983 Pierre Sikivie proposed an
experimental search technique, known as an axion haloscope, that relies on a large microwave...
